Clean Code Summary & Notes (Unofficial)

This repository contains a personal summary and paraphrased notes from the book Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship by Robert C. Martin.

Table of Contents

About

The goal of this project is to provide a concise, reworded reference of the core principles and practices described in Clean Code. It is intended for learning and review purposes only. All notes are written in my own words and do not include any copyrighted text from the book.

Structure

Each section corresponds to a chapter or key concept in the book. Rather than copying the original text, each note is:

  • Paraphrased using original wording.
  • Summarized for clarity and brevity.
  • Accompanied by examples where applicable.

Example: Instead of saying "It’s better to throw an exception...", we might write: "Throwing exceptions can lead to cleaner code by removing repetitive error checking logic from the caller."

  • This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the author or publisher.

Why This Exists

Understanding and applying clean code principles is essential for writing maintainable software. This repository is my way of internalizing and sharing those principles in a practical and respectful way.
